Chapter 204: The Chaos Before the Immortal Gate

Xiao Yang was eager to reach the top, launching a punch straight at the Supreme Dao Child.

The ferocious fist energy shook the void, reaching an extreme level of power.

The members of the Supreme Dao Sect were left utterly shocked at this scene.

As the saying goes, when an expert takes action, you immediately know the truth.

This Sect Holy Son from the Qingyang Sword Sect truly had some skills.

Xiao Yang’s name had already spread throughout the Northern Region.

“Boom!”

With a muffled sound, a visible ripple spread through the space between Xiao Yang and the Supreme Dao Child.

The powerful fist energy swept toward the crowd.

The disciples of the Supreme Dao Sect were instantly horrified.

With a wave of the Supreme Dao Master’s sleeve, he directly neutralized the torrent of powerful fist energy.

The Supreme Dao Child surprisingly managed to block Xiao Yang’s punch with a punch of his own.

“Hm?”

Xiao Yang was taken aback; this Supreme Dao Child had some tricks up his sleeve, managing to take on his punch.

Although Xiao Yang hadn’t put in his full strength, it was still not something an average person could handle.

All the members of the Supreme Dao Sect were staring wide-eyed at the two.

The scene fell silent.

Even the Supreme Dao Master couldn’t help but frown.

This Sect Holy Son from the Qingyang Sword Sect wasn’t simple.

He had initially thought the Supreme Dao Child was strong enough, definitely a dark horse in this crucial competition.

Who would have thought that another strong contender, Xiao Yang, had emerged.

In addition to Li Xingyao from the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

This competition was gearing up to be quite a show.

Xiao Yang didn’t want to get tangled up with the Supreme Dao Child.

He cracked his right fist, unleashing an even stronger punch.

The Supreme Dao Child was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Xiao Yang could deliver another punch.

He was directly sent flying.

Xiao Yang took big strides up towards the peak of Yuanwu Mountain.

“You…”

The Supreme Dao Child landed on the ground, feeling a tingling in his right hand.

As he was about to move again, Xiao Yang had already run far away.

“This is outrageous!”

The Supreme Dao Child chased after him.

Before long, their figures had disappeared up the steps leading to the mountain peak.

“…”

The crowd exchanged glances.

…

Xiao Yang hadn’t anticipated that the Supreme Dao Child could keep up with him.

This person was a formidable rival in his previous life too.

“Haha, let’s see who’s faster on foot!”

Xiao Yang laughed heartily.

The Supreme Dao Child exerted force to catch up.

But Xiao Yang also pushed forward, quickly creating distance again.

The Supreme Dao Child gritted his teeth and tried again to close the gap.

Xiao Yang erupted with strength again, keeping the distance intact.

The two were both stubborn, competing in foot speed on the steps of Yuanwu Mountain.

Meanwhile, there was no one else in sight ahead.

On the path to the peak, only the two of them were racing upward.

Xiao Yang was puzzled,

Who was it that reached the Questioning Immortal Platform before him?

Because the Immortal Gate above Yuanwu Mountain had opened.

The Immortal Gate had been tightly shut.

Only when someone climbed the Questioning Immortal Platform would the gate swing wide open.

To his surprise, someone had indeed stepped onto the platform before him.

He truly wanted to see who it was; could it possibly be the Fuyiao Holy Maiden, Li Xingyao?

It seemed likely.

Li Xingyao’s progress had been astonishing lately.

Half a step into the Sacred Martial Realm was sufficient for her to stand out among the best.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yang finally slowed down.

They were nearing the peak of Yuanwu Mountain.

The pressure enveloping him in the void intensified, now feeling like a small mountain was weighing down on him.

The Supreme Dao Child also slowed down.

Another half hour passed.

Xiao Yang stepped onto the summit of Yuanwu Mountain.

Before him was a vast square.

In the center stood a towering platform.

This was the Questioning Immortal Platform of Yuanwu Mountain.

And the Immortal Gate hovered above the platform.

At that moment, the Immortal Gate had opened, radiating celestial light.

Behind the Immortal Gate lay the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Incredibly pure spiritual energy surged forth from behind the Immortal Gate.

At that moment, a figure stood bathed in celestial light and spiritual energy.

It wasn’t Li Xingyao.

When Xiao Yang saw the person, he was utterly stunned.

He could hardly believe it was her.

At that moment, the person bathed in celestial light and spiritual energy was actually Ye Ling’er.

He never expected that his disciple, Ye Ling’er, would be the first to ascend the Questioning Immortal Platform.

“What’s going on here?”

Xiao Yang was in shock.

At this time, Ye Ling’er on the platform also spotted Xiao Yang.

Before Ye Ling’er could say anything, a beam of celestial light descended from the Immortal Gate, directly enveloping her.

In the next moment, Ye Ling’er disappeared from the Questioning Immortal Platform.

She had entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

“This…”

Xiao Yang was taken aback; his disciple was the very first person to enter the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Just then, the Supreme Dao Child also arrived at the summit of Yuanwu Mountain.

From the south of the square, a figure flashed and charged up the steps.

Xiao Yang glanced over and saw another familiar face.

The person was dressed in white, holding a long sword; it was Lu Fusheng, the heir of the Divine Sword Manor.

Xiao Yang was the second to reach the top of Yuanwu Mountain.

The Supreme Dao Child was the third.

And Lu Fusheng was the fourth.

Next, a figure came rushing up from the western steps.

She was dressed in white, wielding a jade flute, her figure enchanting, and it was Lī Fānyīn, the master sister of the Shifang Qimen.

“Xiao Brother?”

Seeing Xiao Yang, Lī Fānyīn was momentarily taken aback.

She was surprised that Xiao Yang had reached the summit before her.

When Xiao Yang saw her, he was equally astonished.

Lī Fānyīn had indeed managed to break through to the Divine Martial Realm.

Xiao Yang recalled that in his previous life, Lī Fānyīn had showcased her Divine Martial Realm prowess during the competition.

But at Nine Heavens City, Lī Fānyīn had still been half a step into the Divine Martial Realm.

How long had it been?

How did she manage to achieve such a breakthrough?

Lu Fusheng wore his usual cold demeanor.

He nodded toward Xiao Yang.

At that moment, another figure emerged from the lower steps.

Seeing this person, Xiao Yang grinned.

It was Chu Guiyuan.

To be precise, it was Chu Guixi impersonating Chu Guiyuan.

Chu Guixi and Chu Guiyuan were identical twin brothers; they looked exactly alike.

Chu Guiyuan frequently had Chu Guixi impersonate him while roaming the cultivation world.

Thus, even the members of the Guiyuan Martial Sect wouldn’t know their Sect Holy Son had been swapped.

Xiao Yang gazed at this impostor Chu Guiyuan; this was one of his strategic moves.

Before long, Ye Feiyang also arrived.

His cousin, Ye Ling’er, had already entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Li Xingyao from the Fuyiao Sword Sect had yet to show up.

At this moment, Ye Feiyang exchanged a glance with Chu Guiyuan before striding toward the Questioning Immortal Platform.

“Ready to step on the stage?”

The Supreme Dao Child swiftly blocked Ye Feiyang’s path.

“What are you trying to do?” Ye Feiyang shouted angrily.

“To step on the stage, you have to rely on your own abilities!” the Supreme Dao Child coldly replied.

“This is ridiculous!”

Ye Feiyang slapped his waist storage pouch, and a fierce beast leaped out, quickly growing in size.

The crowd looked on in astonishment as a fierce tiger, engulfed in flames, charged forth.

“The Crimson Flame Tiger?” Xiao Yang hadn’t anticipated that Ye Feiyang had such a powerful fierce beast.

This guy had already lost two fierce beasts before.

“A sixth-level spirit beast?” The eyes behind the Supreme Dao Child’s mask instantly lit up.

The fierce tiger roared lowly, its violent aura radiating outwards.

The onlookers couldn’t help but be apprehensive.

This was indeed a sixth-level spirit beast.

Flames danced around the Crimson Flame Tiger, and the temperature in the vicinity soared.

Everyone felt the oppressive heat.

This beast was as strong as an initial stage Divine Martial Realm warrior; it was genuinely formidable.

“Best know your place and get lost, or else you’ll die!” Ye Feiyang growled.

“Hmph!”

The Supreme Dao Child didn’t say a word and leaped into the air, aiming to step onto the platform.

“Roar!”

The Crimson Flame Tiger let out a fierce roar, jumping up from the ground, lunging at the airborne Supreme Dao Child with ferocity.

“Unwise!” The Supreme Dao Child gripped the Supreme Sword tightly.

“Clang!”

A sharp sound echoed as the sword gleamed coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, the leaping Crimson Flame Tiger was cleaved in two.

The fierce tiger’s body fell to the ground, blood and guts spilling everywhere.

A wave of bloody scent quickly spread through the void.

“This…”

Ye Feiyang stared in horror at the scene.

He was completely frozen.

This was a sixth-level spirit beast, strong enough to rival an initial stage Divine Martial Realm warrior.

How could such a powerful beast be slain so easily by the Supreme Dao Child?

The expressions of the crowd became serious.

Xiao Yang looked down at the Supreme Dao Child; it seemed gaining access to the Questioning Immortal Platform wouldn’t be without a fight.

At this moment, more and more people were making their way to the summit of Yuanwu Mountain.

The Supreme Sword of the Supreme Dao Sect was truly a powerful weapon.

Just then, Lu Fusheng stepped forward.

A fierce wave of sword qi erupted from him.

“Are you not afraid of death?” The Supreme Dao Child coldly glared at Lu Fusheng.

“Scared, but you can’t kill me,” Lu Fusheng replied with an icy tone.

“Is that so?”

The Supreme Dao Child’s right hand gripped the hilt of the Supreme Sword.

Xiao Yang noticed that the moment the Supreme Dao Child gripped the sword, his aura completely changed.

So that’s how it is.

The Supreme Sword could only be wielded by the Supreme Dao Child.

And the Supreme Dao Child’s sword skills had reached the realm of oneness with the sword.

However, Lu Fusheng seemed unfazed.

“Clang!”

The sword Lu Fusheng held suddenly unsheathed.

He seized the divine sword.

“This…”

Xiao Yang immediately realized that Lu Fusheng had also reached the level of oneness with the sword.

It wouldn’t be easy to determine a victor between these two.

As the two faced off, another person attempted to ascend the Questioning Immortal Platform.

The impostor Chu Guiyuan clashed with that individual.

Before long, Lī Fānyīn and others joined the fray.

They all wanted to step onto the Questioning Immortal Platform.

None wanted to let the others get ahead.

More and more people were coming up from the bottom of the mountain.

More and more were joining the battle.

The square at the summit of Yuanwu Mountain erupted into chaos.

Someone made a move against Xiao Yang.

That person was Ye Feiyang, along with the Holy Son from the Refining Sect clad in Ten Absolute Battle Armor.

“Think I’m easy prey?” Xiao Yang glanced at the two, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint smile.
